Copy pasted from my reddit post.
I've narrowed down my choices for an external monitor to get for my laptop MSI 860m Asus Vg248qe vs Dell U2414H
I play somewhat competitive games like Overwatch
And CSGO
But im sensitive to picture quality since I like to play AAA RPG's and casual games with great graphics like Witcher 3, mass effect andromeda and skyrim with enhanced graphics mods.
I've seen reviews on both monitors and here is what I found:
Asus VG248QE:
Excellent for gaming
1ms response time and low input lag
BETTER color quality compared to some TN panels of same price like benQ but not better than an IPS panel.
Dell U2414H :
Excellent picture quality
IPS panel
8ms response time but very low input lag which is good Some reviews even say that for FPS flick shooting games this monitor performs good compared to other IPS panels (can anyone who owns this monitor confirm this)
My level of "competitiveness" in
Overwatch (currently 3100 diamond SR)
And CSGO(currently master guardian 1)
What I'm trying to say is, I'm not a professional gamer but im better than average... But I want good image quality.
Should I get the asus one for the faster response time and 144hz(even tho my gpu can't output more than 60hz) Or should I get the Dell U2414H that has better colors with decent response time and low input lag
